Re: Suspect confesses to Phnom Penh double shooting
Do any of these army guys ever actually go to work for the military? A Beretta must be really expensive, is it real or a copy?

I think the bullets are real, but they work just like the copies. Duno about the gun.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Re: Suspect confesses to Phnom Penh double shooting
I know a "policeman" who drives a minivan from 6am to about 4-5pm, 7 days a week. I don't know when he finds the time to pick up his paycheck. Lol. It's useful for getting through police roadblocks though.willyhilly wrote: ↑Sun Mar 04, 2018 12:33 pm Do any of these army guys ever actually go to work for the military?
Another guy I met was running a bar in the provinces - turns out that he was a policeman too.
I think they all need second jobs to make a decent living, but not sure how much time these guys actually spend "policing".

Re: Suspect confesses to Phnom Penh double shooting
It looks real, they usually have a logo on the grip but grips can be changed. A fairly high-ranking cop I know showed me his new Beretta 92FS and reckoned he had paid $3000 for it. I don't think they cost more than $800 or so in the US.willyhilly wrote: ↑Sun Mar 04, 2018 12:33 pm Do any of these army guys ever actually go to work for the military?

Re: Suspect confesses to Phnom Penh double shooting
$3000 for a Beretta is a total ripoff it usually goes for about $700-900 so youre right there. I imagine there's some general in Phnom Penh who makes an absolute killing selling overpriced guns to subordinates.John Bingham wrote: ↑Sun Mar 04, 2018 2:16 pmIt looks real, they usually have a logo on the grip but grips can be changed.

Re: Suspect confesses to Phnom Penh double shooting
That's my take on it, someone's got a monopoly going. I heard about the high cost of decent handguns years ago and found it hard to believetonetone420 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 04, 2018 3:56 pm$3000 for a Beretta is a total ripoff it usually goes for about $700-900 so youre right there.

but I'm convinced by now. Even shitty K-59s go for a few hundred these days though. The high price does give a good gun quite a bit of status value.
